McFadden (5-10, 193) was a 3 1/2-year starter at outside corner, logging 13 career tackles for loss and eight interceptions, including two pick-sixes as a senior. Smallish with short arms (32 3/8") and 4.54 speed, McFadden was viewed by most teams as a slot corner during the pre-draft process. He's quick in a short area with high football IQ, and has been called "an absolutely terrific player" by Greg Cosell. McFadden should compete for a starting job in Cleveland opposite Joe Haden.

San Diego State CB Leon McFadden says he's been asked about playing the slot corner position.

"That's something I wouldn't mind playing and something I will have to learn obviously because I didn't play it in college," McFadden said. "I'm willing to take that task on." It takes a specific skill-set to play the slot corner spot, notably quick feet and discipline. NFL Network's Mike Mayock previously lauded McFadden for being light on his feet.
